Explain the significance of the following information given in the specifica- tion of transducers: accelerometer. Non-linearity: ±0.5% of full range. (b) A capacitive linear displacement transducer. Non-linearity and hysteresis: ±0.01% of full range. (c) A resistance strain gauge force measurement transducer. Temperature sensitivity: ±1% of full range over normal environmental temperatures. (d) A capacitance fluid pressure transducer. Accuracy: ± 1% of displayed reading. (a) A piezoelectric (e) Thermocouple. Sensitivity: nickel chromium/nickel aluminium thermocouple: 0.039 mV/°C when the cold junction is at 0°C. (f) Gyroscope for angular velocity measurement. Repeatability: ±0.01% of full range. (g) Inductive displacement transducer. Linearity: ±1% of rated load. (h) Load cell. Total error due to non-linearity, hysteresis and non-repeatability: ±0.1%.
